Here it comes. The "trigger" option is the new word, not co-ops, not public option -- TRIGGER.

Tossed together in desparation over a holiday weekend. What could possibly go wrong?

If Congress passes something now, it will serve as a foundation to pass further reform in the future.

If Congress kills it now, it will serve as a foundation for it to stay dead for another decade like Hillarycare.

Happy trails to you....

The RNC needs to run a national ad with the Obama statements that he’s for a single-payer option and be done with this.

He’s stated in on multiple occasions and has said it can be done incrementally. The “trigger” option would be the first increment. I don’t think people are falling for this guy’s BS, but TOTUS may give us the most eloquent words ever heard and the same folks who followed the Pied Piper to the ballot box may look to anoint him yet again.

But I thought guns and anything having to to with guns were evil and bad.

Maybe we should protest louder, until we can get a Trigger Lock on that bill.

[paulycy]

They call it “trigger” because it is the steaming product of a horse.

[Cementjungle]

Well, this ought to be entertaining.

Don’t let the government pull the trigger on your Freedom. The signs and Ads write themselves. Do these guys understand politics at all? (YES WE CAN!) (NO YOU G-D- WON’T!)

I wonder how co-president Pelosi feels about this one? I would like to be a fly on the wall when Pelosi reminds Obama how she delivered all those SUPER DELAGATE votes for him.

"My good friends David Axelrod and David Plouffe and Rahm Emmanuel have written this wonderful piece of legislation for the Congress. So don't worry about hearings and don't worry about debate, just pass it now, just pass it now, just pass it now, just pass it now, just pass it now, just pass it now, just pass it now, just pass it now, just pass it now, just pass it now, just pass it now, just pass it now, just pass it now."--

COMING TO THE JOINT SESSION OF CONGRESS ON 09/09/09....

Since when does the president “draft legislation”? I'm under the impression he's not permitted to do that. Some obscure document called the Constitution...

[rintense]

Since when does the Constitution allow for a President to draft legislation?

[Jeff Chandler]

I’m going to burn in hell, but the first thing that popped into my head was the Joan Baez parody, Pull the Tregroes, written by Tony Hendra and published by National Lampoon in their Radio Dinner album!

Socialized Medicine aka Universal Health Care daily digest PING LIST

FReepmail me if you want to be added to or removed from this daily digest ping list.

[Munz]

can’t wait to see what this bill looks like.
About a billion pages with more loopholes than any legislation before.
Probably about a million paragraphs that contradict each other.

Unless Obama writes it himself then he will produce a one page
document saying
I won, I lead, you lost, we have health care, i now decide who lives and dies.
